4th of July

Though this year the 4th of July was on a Wednesday.. it's never too early to plan for next year. If you are planning to visit Seattle next year, visit during the first week of July. The weather before then is rainy, but afterwards it warms up. Plus the 4th of July fireworks at Seattle and Bellevue are amazing.


Seattle's event is held at Gaswork Park, on Lake Union. There are many events around the lake before the firework show. The great thing about watching the firework show at Seattle is that you can watch it on the lake!! Of course you need to know someone who owns a boat... nonetheless watching it on the grass is good too!

If you plan to cross the bridge eastwards towards Bellevue is going to be the Eastside's 4th of July celebration. The Symetra Bellevue Family 4th of July event is the largest celebration on the Eastside located in the heart of the Bellevue downtown area. There are tons of family activities before the firework show. Sadly you can't watch it on the lake, but the show itself is spectacular. During the fireworks the Bellevue Youth Symphony does a live musical performance.


If you are still uncertain about next year's summer plans look no further! Come visit the beautiful Seattle area for your 4th of July vacation. Come see the fireworks at either Seattle or Bellevue... if you have enough time then both! Don't forget to bring your camera and maybe an umbrella! You may never know....
